About me

I have experience of working successfully with clients with a broad range of issues.

After working in various jobs, running my own business for 15 years, and accumulating a great deal of life experience, I decided to follow my heart and retrain as a psychotherapist and counsellor.

Over time my practice has evolved and expanded. Today, I work with a diverse range of adult clients on a one-to-one basis, providing a supportive environment where healing and transformation can unfold at a natural pace. While my roots are firmly grounded in person-centred principles, my approach has been enriched through further education and exploration.

I am informed in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful model that helps clients understand and heal the various 'parts' of themselves that may hold pain, fear, or protective mechanisms. IFS recognizes that we all have multiple parts within us - some that protect, some that hold wounds, and others that strive to thrive. Through compassionate exploration, I help clients connect with these parts to foster understanding, healing, and harmony within themselves.

Additionally, I incorporate Focusing into my practice. This gentle yet profound method allows clients to attune deeply to their inner experiences, accessing the wisdom held within the body. Focusing facilitates a deeper awareness of emotions and sensations, enabling clients to navigate complex feelings with greater clarity and self-compassion.

My commitment is to provide a safe, empathetic, and empowering space for my clients to explore their inner worlds, heal past wounds, and move towards greater self-awareness and well-being. Whether you are navigating life’s challenges, seeking personal growth, or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I became convinced of the benefits and power of talk therapy when experiencing it myself during the earlier part of adulthood. I came to know what it’s like to sit with a therapist as a client - that personal experience informs everything I do now. I know for myself what’s important in a therapist if the therapy is to work. I understand the vital significance of the quality of the relationship between therapist and client.
